Music

Ever since the beginning days of WUUC, music has been a central part of worship services and church life in general. We have many talented musicians in our midst, but we always have room for more. As a musician at WUUC you can be involved in several ways, from singing in choir to playing in services to working with children to joining ad-hoc groups of musicians who jam or play informally at each others’ homes or for church events. We welcome all styles and instruments, and only a love of music and an eagerness to share your music with others is all that is required, so please consider joining in one of the following areas.

Choir

The WUUC choir may be different than church choirs you have experienced before – we are lay-led (no professional director), strive to sing accessible and energetic pieces for Sunday services, and last but not least, have fun doing it. We welcome anyone who loves to sing – no formal voice or music training is required, and even if you do not consider yourself a music sight-reader, we invite you to join us.

Choir rehearses every Monday evening from 7:30 to 9:00 PM. We generally sing one to two Sundays a month, and often at special services (e.g. holidays and Music Sunday).

For more information, please contact Jack Brand (jackbrand@gmail.com).

There is also an email list for choir members, which you may subscribe to by emailing choir-subscribe@wuuc.org

Sunday Service (non-choir) Music

On any given Sunday you will hear music at WUUC – instrumental and vocal, and the styles and instruments may surprise you: from Eastern European folk to classical to jazz, pop, rock, and everything in between. At WUUC you will hear piano, guitar, flute, oboe, accordion, opera singers, and more. Join us! If you play an instrument and want to join in, please contact our Special Music Coordinator Brad Hull at bkhull@gmail.com

Musicians may view our online calendar to find vacancies for upcoming Sundays, and contact Brad to sign up. We make every effort to tie our music into the worship theme of the day.

There is an email list for all WUUC musicians, which you may subscribe to by emailing musician-subscribe@wuuc.org

Sunday Service Piano Accompanists

We have a rotating group of volunteer pianists who accompany our hymns which the congregation sings. We would love to add you to that list if you enjoy accompanying – please contact Stephana Ditzler at ditzlers@gmail.com
